Maps show where places are. The heading on this page says, “Alaska on a U.S. Map.” The illustration is a map of the United States. It shows the lower part of the country and Alaska far to the northwest. Alaska is a U.S. state.

Canada lies between Alaska and the other states, so Alaska is not joined to them on this map. A small label points to Alaska. The caption under the map says, “Alaska is a U.S. state near the top left of this map.” The map illustration helps us see Alaska’s location. Words tell us where to look, and the picture helps us see it.
